The main reason I don't care for bitcoin is I have to count a bunch zeros after the decimal point, before reaching a useful number. $1 = 0.000006128921 btc? Really? Screw those zeroes. Bitcoin is inefficient in so many ways.

Things are often measured in mBTC or µBTC for this exact reason.

Just as you don't measure the length of an ant in meters, you measure it in millimeters.

But you never see milliBTC or µBTC. Your post is literally the first time I see µBTC. No normal person knows how to type µ, let alone knowing what it means or how many eggs that buys. My crypto currency converter doesn't even use µBTC.

mBTC and satoshis (10^-8) are more common indeed, but are used pretty much everywhere. It's not 2015 anymore
